This guy is a highly credentialed investigative reporter at 60 minutes Australia who has lots of interesting stories from high up people in the US government. Big take aways for me was that Luis Elizondo was one of the few US government officials who had oversite access to all of the special...

What you really need to worry about is that we are quickly approaching a time where lots of money can be made by simply running computations. We're talking medication modelling, material science, simulations, AI etc. The previous results improve the next round and it just keeps going. The longer...

What a stupid take, just imagine x I don't like and what could of happened if it didn't exist. The crypto market went from nothing to a trillion plus dollars in a decade but let's just ignore that because I don't like it uses power. When you look around at all the resources running social...

Bitcoin doesn't use GPUs, it uses specialized Asics designed for high efficiency hashing. Ethereum mining uses GPUs and they've got a plan to remove mining in favor of staking but that's late 2021 at the earliest. Lots of other coins use GPUs so it may not go away entirely but it will certainly...

Quebec as some of the cheapest electricity in the world and they can't sell as much as they generate. All those miners are going to appear in Canada in the not too distant future. They've been courting the Chinese miners for years and some have already moved.

I was presuming this was a higher resolution than it was and that was my mistake and the article made no mention of it's limitations. Whenever we get a new tool that really changes the paradigm we make big advancements quickly and I was a bit too drunk on the hopium here.

Boo and no I didn't read the underlying paper. Ain't nobody got time fo that. The fact that the science article failed to properly articulate the limitations and I'd have to read the paper is why I hate science reporting and just gave up entirely on phys.org. I don't have the knowledge to know...

This microscope has the potential to be huge in terms of advancements. A lot of things we know are basically inferred and even biology paper reproduction rates are pretty dog shit right now so this has the potential to clear up tons of misconceptions/bad papers out there. I'd be curious if it's...

If this was normal times we would of seen a price drop of the 3080 to like 550 and the 3080 ti would of been 699. That would of been more in line with the performance and put pressure on AMD. This should of been a great generation for gamers because AMD and Nvidia both had competitive products...

Bought a quadro to replace the broken card and threw the 1080 into the toaster oven before I tossed it. Toasting it worked, it's back to normal. Hopefully it will last until GPU prices stop being so retarded. Quadro isn't too bad either so I'm throwing it into my HTPC.

Chip design doesn't take the smartest people it's the fact that patents lock up most of the technology so nobody can make a competing product. Chip design is like 20 smart people and 400 people trying to come up with a process to ensure the the chip actually does what it's supposed to...

Yea that's my only choice but I'm worried about killing it for good and I need this system for work. It

My 1080 gtx is crashing any time it goes into 3D, it's not overheating and the power supply looks to be delivering stable power. Literally zero options for a quick replacement, seriously fuck the chip shortage. My best option is waiting in line on 3080 ti launch day but that's spending way more...

C'mon it's less believable than Atlantis, it's hurt more realistic. Everything from extra solar planets to other rocky worlds and earth sized planets in habital zones have been far more abundant than we first thought. At this point it would surprise me if there wasn't many alien civilizations...

Dude this clearly Atlantis tech /s

You can choose what you turn on or off in that mod pack. I just used the location reveals and the portal cheat. I don't seem to have the cart available to build? Tin and copper is a ridiculous grind. Bah apparently I needed to make nails.

I use a mod that shows me the boss locations and the location of the trader. I spent five hours searching for the trader and that fuck head was on the other side of the map across an ocean. It also let's me move ore through portals.. Which is a bullshit limitation imo especially when you can't...

I dated a chick during the summer before I went off to university and she absolutely hated herself. Humiliating her got her off so cheating on her, using her as a fuck doll putting her down etc anything to make her feel terrible was a huge turn on. If I failed to do humiliate her adequately she...

I bought three years of gold for 6.50/cad a month and converted it to ultimate. Between Forza, gears of war, wolfenstein and doom franchises I've already gotten my moneys worth. Certaintly cheaper than my habit of buying steam games and never finishing them, definitely less guilt.

Japanese side fucks up hardware and its production moves to the the US. Now the US is fucking up software and it will have to move back to Japan thus completing the cycle.

Flail chest apparently.

I got the cheapest aio water cooler, DDR 3200 ram and motherboard available and its lit up like a Christmas tree. But my 2 yr just sits there in my computer chair saying "Woah, awesome. Good job daddy." watching the lights. I was surprised how interested she was while I was putting it together...

I got one on Kijiji for 150$ under retail sealed in the box. A bunch of 5950xs dropped at a local store and there were quite a few people dumping their 5900s for retail or a bit below. I for sure hit the lottery but its a clear cycle that happens every time the local stores restock. I ended up...

If bitcoin doubles in value it's only 5 months! As someone who was a long term hold until several years ago and would be living a completely different life right now if I continued to hold it's probably best to keep the bitcoins and buy the cards with cash. Money printer go brrr but bitcoins don't.

I use nicehash because I'm lazy. It has an auto tuning miner and they pay you to rent your hash rate out so it will auto switch to whatever is most profitable. You just sign up for an account, download the miner and you get paid out every few hours with bitcoin. https://www.nicehash.com

My 1080ti is set to turn out 150$/month mining with nicehash and that's been increasing a dollar or so every couple hours. You might of gotten a lot more for those cards.

To cash out the rest of my BAT (on the ethereum network) on an exchange cost me 15$ worth of fees, roughly half the amount I had in the exchange. I'm really surprised the transaction costs have gotten that high as those fees are a real killer. In retrospect I should of exchanged them for another...

Just start talking about watches and he cant resist. It's like Foler catnip.

Sike and he's trolling the shit out of pol.

Can you two just fuck already? The sexual tension is killing this thread.

I've never liked the idea of psychedelics revealing gods, and I think there is a decent explanation of the action. Your brain is a series of older structures built on top of newer structures, each acting as it's own independent system running all the time but yet we don't perceive this at all...

It will be interesting to see how this pans out in the long term, if this succeeds and having multiple competing companies not only costs less but actually gets the job done while pushing ahead the technology for commercial purposes and these people are still bitching it's obvious they have no...

Ontario... looking at moving to a sleepy mountain town in BC deep in conservative country. If anyone had told me five years ago I'd be rushing to move away from a city to a small town to get away from liberals I would have laughed. The group think is so strong with the school system here that...

I live in a city with 400k people or so, I'm trying to transition to a small town to a small city that's more rural. People here are getting batty and I want as much distance as I can get from these maniacs. To give an example of what I'm trying to get away from, I had a friend's daughter who's...

They still killed Angela, so he still has motivation to take this forward. They had to kill off Mr Robot at some point to resolve that portion of the story line and making it into a rebirth of Elliot where he sheds his second personality freeing him to be something different was great imo. He...

The microscopic ones do, but something earth sized would last 5.668638e+50 years.

You can make methane on the moon too, most of the shadowed craters with water contain a decent amount of carbon dioxide ice. The moon seems more useful than mars to me simply because it's closer to earth and the gravity is low enough that doesn't take much energy to launch off the surface. You...

I had a funny thought, what if travelling back in time was a lot easier than we imagined and it takes an advanced civilization 300 years of advancement to develop it. In an effort to perfect the past they through their own ineptitude or through war to control the future end up erasing their own...

While it can provide internet to people in remote regions the real long term value of this is a second backbone in the sky that will provide lower latency connections than ground based fiber optics especially to some of the more remote regions of the world. The more satellites you have up the...
